After carrying Tang San and Master down the mountain, Flander and Liu Erlong did not immediately return to the camp. Due to the poisoning, their Dou Qi recovery was slow, so they could only move at a sluggish pace.
Along the way, to prevent attacks from soul beasts, Liu Erlong and Flander rested at the foot of the mountain while carrying the master and Tang San.
Flander did not dare look into Liu Erlong's eyes. He gently placed the unconscious Tang San down and quietly said, "Erlong, I'm sorry. If I hadn't done this, we all would have died."
"Big Brother Flander, this isn't your fault." Liu Erlong shook her head, murmuring, "If Xiaogang were conscious, he would have agreed with you too."
For Liu Erlong, surviving a disaster like this was still bearable. As long as one could live, no one wished to die.
Although she could die alongside Master, it was only because there was no chance to live—so she would go to death generously. But if survival was possible, no one would willingly die; it was human instinct.
"Er… Erlong… my… my legs… why… have no feeling?" At this moment, Master, who had been placed on the bluestone by Liu Erlong, woke up. The moment he opened his eyes, a sharp pain shot through him. He tried to move, only to realize he couldn't move at all.
"Xiaogang, you… you're awake." Hearing Master's voice, Liu Erlong quickly moved to his side and tried to help him sit up. However, perhaps due to how brutally Flander had fought, Master couldn't even stand.
"I… I can't move?" Master was dumbfounded. He only remembered being knocked unconscious by a punch, and along the way, he vaguely recalled someone repeatedly smashing a stone onto him. The pain had knocked him out again.
"Ahem, little Gang, why did Tang San go into Dugu Bo's medicinal garden? He wouldn't really be trying to steal herbs, right?" Looking at Master's pitiful state, Flander didn't dare continue this topic and quickly changed the subject.
"Flander, don't slander my disciple. How could he steal Dugu Bo's herbs?" Master roared angrily, grimacing in pain. Despite that, he still stubbornly said, "Clearly, Dugu Bo was just looking for an excuse to slander and kill Xiao San because of his talent."
"Don't get worked up. If Dugu Bo finds out we didn't leave and say bad things about him, do you want to die again?" Flander quickly gestured shushing at Master and explained, "Don't worry. I just checked Xiao San's body. Nothing serious—just a few broken bones. Once we get back, I'll find someone to treat him. That's all."
"Also, don't tell the kids about this. Since Dugu Bo already knows who Tang San's father is, he won't attack him again. For now, let's lay low and stay away from Dugu Bo until he becomes a titled Douluo."
"Flander, do you still have any backbone!" Master trembled with anger. "After Dugu Bo treated my disciple like that, you just plan to let it go?"
Flander said, "Then what do you want us to do? If you want us to seek death, just say it. Didn't you see our three-person fused martial soul skill get smashed by a single slap?"
"You… sigh." Hearing this, Master sighed. He knew Flander spoke the truth, but he couldn't swallow his anger. He also understood that seeking revenge against Dugu Bo would truly end them.
"Fine, let's leave it for now. Once back, we'll immediately mobilize people to find Xiao San's father. Once we find him, why should we fear Dugu Bo, the most worthless titled Douluo?"
Flander nodded. Their Dou Qi had recovered somewhat, and although Master couldn't move, he at least had regained consciousness.
Afterward, Flander and Liu Erlong carried the Master and disciple back toward the camp.
On the way back, Master asked, "Erlong, Flander, do you know who beat me up like this?"
"......"
......
A few days later, Tian Dou Royal Academy.
After returning from the Ice-Fire Two Poles Eyes, Cheng Xiao headed straight toward the dormitory. The trip had taken some time, and although his Dou Qi had increased considerably, he still needed to check in.
Of course, this also had something to do with Dugu Bo. The old man had suddenly said he wanted to see how Dugu Yan was cultivating. Going alone would look suspicious, so Cheng Xiao went with him to avoid it.
Walking along the tree-lined paths, Dugu Bo and Cheng Xiao walked side by side. After some time, their pace slowed until they stopped in front of a house nearly a thousand square meters in size. It was more like a villa than a house.
The Huang Dou Battle Team, being the face of Tian Dou Royal Academy, gave its members the best treatment. To encourage unity, members lived in the same house.
Even so, each member had a separate room—truly luxurious.
Entering the room, Cheng Xiao and Dugu Bo immediately saw Dugu Yan cultivating. Since taking the Earth Dragon Golden Gourd, her martial soul had evolved into the Cobalt Phosphorescent Serpent Emperor. Her body was partially covered with scales, somewhat like a martial soul manifestation, similar to the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Dragon Transformation, but weaker.
After all, there was still a large gap between a dragon and a serpent.
"Hehe, brat, I must say, that blasted chrysanthemum was actually useful." Dugu Bo, seeing the four soul rings around Dugu Yan, smiled slyly while stroking his chin.
"Great, if the teacher hears this, we'll get scolded again." Cheng Xiao shook his head. These two old men were fine usually, but when they started calling each other nicknames, tempers flared.
"Cheng Xiao? Senior Dugu, what are you doing here?"
During their conversation, Yu Tianheng appeared at the staircase on the second floor, followed by Yufeng, Auslo, and others.
Seeing them, Cheng Xiao smiled and greeted them but didn't speak further, not wanting to disturb Dugu Yan's cultivation.
Unlike Cheng Xiao's polite greeting, Dugu Bo glared at Yu Tianheng. After the events of the past two days, his opinion of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus family wasn't good, especially the boy in front of him, who seemed interested in his granddaughter, causing Dugu Bo headaches.
Sometimes he even wished Dugu Yan and Cheng Xiao would pair up. But his foolish granddaughter liked Yu Tianheng, and as her grandfather, he couldn't interfere.
Still, Dugu Bo knew this had nothing to do with Yu Tianheng, but he was displeased anyway. He gave a cold snort and turned his head.
Yu Tianheng was a bit dumbfounded, thinking, I didn't do anything, why is Dugu Bo treating me this way?
"Cheng Xiao, what's wrong with Senior Dugu? Did I do something wrong?" Yu Tianheng asked quietly, holding Cheng Xiao's arm.
"It's nothing. He's just angry at a Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus martial soul user. Don't worry, he won't take it out on you, but he won't give you a friendly face either."
